A con con used as a way to overcome what we cannot win at elections, is like using roofies to get a girl in bed.

No. Why was it put in there in the first place? This is a failsafe against a growing tyranny which were are up against right now. Tyranny is growing and the Founders knew it would overtime.

The problem is not anything in the constitution that so much needs fixing, it is that they are not living up to it. the problem is the screwed up views of about 50.1 % of the electorate.

To carry my roofie analogy out further, the girl (electorate) doesn’t want to screw you, THAT is the problem. The magic solution (presto* a new constitution) will not fix that cold reality (that she finds you unappealing). So if you want to bed the cutie down, then you need to lose the gut, and take her to the movies (address issues that matter to them, and demonstrate that you are a good selection).

There is no substitute. But i suppose in a sense, roofies are a “failsafe”.
